    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    08/14-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW )- The last few days have been such a whirlwind of work surrounding my outside renovations that I donโ€™t even know where I stand at this point. I am truly not even sure if Iโ€™ve done good or bad and I donโ€™t think I have the heart to find out. Itโ€™s been grab and go, but less snacks so Iโ€™m a bit confused but today I chose to keep my head buried in the sand. Doctor appointment today so they will weigh me but itโ€™s always higher in the afternoon and with all the clothes so it will not even reveal much, which is best right now with my current mental state. I will be going out to lunch with son after our appointments so tomorrow will no5 bode well due to likely sodium content of restaurant food. I may skip the weight until Friday. In the meantime, Iโ€™m in YOUR corner and continue to support you!

    08/15-190.8-(Trend Weight 190.3)- While Iโ€™m impressed with my new family doctorโ€™s credentials, I was not very impressed with him during the appointment yesterday. When I talked to him about the obsessive snacking and the food noise and cravings at night I asked him if there was anything that could help. Perhaps a medication that my insurance will cover. Something for OCD? Etc. etc. His advise to me is to just stop it. Just stop obsessing, stop bingeing, just โ€œstop itโ€. Oh, how I wish it was that easy. Even a physical tip would have helped. A website, a book. Anything! I also expressed my concerns with the Lasix Iโ€™ve been put back on as one dr keeps taking me off of it to protect kidneys (endo), the other (cardiologist) keeps putting me back on. Family doctor said my kidneys should be okay as long as I drink enough water with it. But not too much since my heart is having a hard time pumping it through. So how much should I drink? He said โ€œnot too muchโ€. So what the hell is that amount? Damn, Iโ€™m in a rut right now. It feels like I just have a shoddy attitude and that Iโ€™m sinking over here. Iโ€™m going to do some online research today as my contractor is off to take his kids to his local fair in his county. I guess Iโ€™ll get the water answers the hard way. On the upside, my A1C was improved again. My weight was up by 3 pounds from 3 months ago. I thought it would be more. He said my A1C will get even better if I stop the night time snacking. No Shoot Sherlock! UGH!

    Hi,
    I'm Cindy. I'm 50, 5'4" and 159.6 as of Aug 1st. Lost 4.6 lbs in July. I didn't quite reach my goal weight for July, but I was close. I have fought with the same 10lbs for the last year.
    So my doctor wants to put me on Wegovy or Zepbound. Between the cost and doing a little research, I don't think its a great solution for me. Looks like it might be a rest of life commitment. No thank you!

    Started at the gym 7/3. Been going 5 days a week. Missed a few days due to life.

    I see my doctor again at the end of August, so I want to loose at least 10 lbs by then to prove I can do it without meds. My ultimate goal is 135 lbs.

    Starting weight: 164.2 (July 1, 2024)
    August starting weight: 159.6
    August goal weight: 155

    Aug 1st - 159.6 :) - Used the rowing machine at the gym for the first time. My friend and I liked it. Why aren't more people using it. No one is ever on it.
    Aug 2nd - 160 :neutral: - Probably the few bites of cookies I had after dinner last night. My daughter wanted Crumble Cookie. How could I say no after the crazy week we have had?
    Aug 3rd - 160 :neutral:
    Aug 4th - 160.4 :( - not paying attention to what I ate yesterday and ate dinner late. Need to work harder this week on what I am putting in my mouth. Last week was a little crazy and I was trying to feed a bunch of young adults. Needed quick, cheap, and easy.
    Aug 5th - 158.8 :) - Actually lost weight over the weekend!
    Aug 6th - 157.4 :) - Not sure how that happened, but I will take it. Only did cardio at the gym yesterday afternoon. I was in a hurry. Had lots to do yesterday evening.
    Aug 7th - 157.6
    Aug 8th - 158 :(
    Aug 9th - 160.2 :( - Very tired this week. Not really sure what is going on except maybe stress. Still going to the gym, but mostly cardio this week and very little weights.
    Aug 10th - 159 :) - Scale finally moving back the other direction.
    Aug 11th - 159.2 :neutral: - I knew it would go up this morning. Yesterday was really busy and only had energy by the end of the day to order pizza. I did have a salad for lunch anticipating being exhausted at the end of the day. Today will be better.
    Aug 12th - 158 :) - Yay!
    Aug 13th - 158.6 :( - Ugh! Why? Not looking good to meet my goal. I have my doctor appointment on the 27th. I'm afraid she will try to push the drugs again.
    Aug 14th - 158.6 :(
    Aug 15th - 158.4 :neutral: - The scale needs to move down! Weights and cardio for about an hour afterwork yesterday. Only ate a salad with tomatoes and cucumber last night for dinner. I won't say what I ate for lunch. :) I think the lesson learned is eat a lighter dinner and a heavier lunch.
    Aug 16th - 157.8 :) - Makes a difference when I stay away from bread. Now for the weekend. Have party to attend for my husband's grandfather tomorrow. He will be 101 and still going strong. Drives and lives by himself. It will be pool side so I probably won't want to eat much because its Texas and it will be hot tomorrow.

    I was only 7 calories over my limit yesterday so I'm still counting it as bring in. If it was more than 10, I'd count it as over. But I had been going over my calories by a few hundred, through much of the week, and I fought with that last night, and proud of myself this morning instead of feeling mildly defeated.

    I'm working a double today, it's clients I love but I have to bring projects to keep my mind active or I will be watching the clock, and that drives my stress level up, which leads to overeating when I get home. I promise to nap first, right after work, and then I will be more clear headed before I go into the kitchen.

    SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH

    08/16-191.4-(Trend Weight 190.7)- I must apologize for my attitude and rant yesterday. I was in such a dark place. When the doctors tell me to limit my exercise due to my newest heart issues and to limit my water for the same reason, I just feel so lost. I mean, it is messing with two very VITAL parts of my weight loss plan, exercise and water!!! So today I turned off my alarm clock and decided to have a good attitude. I just need to change my exercise to mild cardio, maybe more walking. I need to drink less water and overall liquids, yes, but I can spread them out more evenly throughout the day so there may still be some effectiveness. THEN, I sat here, and continue to sit here, waitingโ€ฆ..waiting (yet again) for my contractor to get here who was scheduled for 9:00. I stay up pretty late and am not normally an early riser (I like to sleep until about 10:00 in my retirement), but have been accommodating his schedule to get these jobs done. EXCEPT, he does this often enough to tick me off. Oh, how I could have used the sleep! And I donโ€™t need sleep issues on top of exercise and water issues! So, in keeping my promise to myself to have a more positive day, I just want to say that Iโ€™ve pre-logged my food for the first time since July 31st, I have already done a Leslie Sansone walking video on youtube this morning and I am going to enjoy my DGS who is here with me for the weekend and Iโ€™m going to avoid my daughters food offerings from her mobile grocery store. NSV, however, last night she pulled Russell Stoverโ€™s sugar free 5 pc bag of chocolates out of her Mary Poppins bag for me. Sugar Free! Wow, thatโ€™s a win! She heard me for once! Have a great weekend everyone!

    Hi, I'm Jill! <3
    I'm 54 and have been married 28 years. I have 2 children-- a son who is 23 and a daughter who is 19. I work full-time selling new construction homes, and I absolutely love it!

    This week Iโ€™ve been very tired and have fallen into a bit of depression. I canโ€™t stand my body but am so weak when it comes to food. Even sticking to 1500 calories is a challenge. I just want to be able to eat normally. This last week Iโ€™ve been really inactive due to fibromyalgia pain then from feeling so fat and gross I donโ€™t want to leave the house. I desperately want to be back under 100kg.

    We had takeout for dinner last night; I had to work a double and was pretty wiped out after work. All next week except 1 day, I'm working doubles, so food will be a challenge.

    But, yanno what, I'm choosing to be proactive and I choose to be positive and upbeat about it.

    Hi,
    I'm Cindy. I'm 50, 5'4" and 159.6 as of Aug 1st. Lost 4.6 lbs in July. I didn't quite reach my goal weight for July, but I was close. I have fought with the same 10lbs for the last year.
    So my doctor wants to put me on Wegovy or Zepbound. Between the cost and doing a little research, I don't think its a great solution for me. Looks like it might be a rest of life commitment. No thank you!

    Started at the gym 7/3. Been going 5 days a week. Missed a few days due to life.

    I see my doctor again at the end of August, so I want to loose at least 10 lbs by then to prove I can do it without meds. My ultimate goal is 135 lbs.

    Starting weight: 164.2 (July 1, 2024)
    August starting weight: 159.6
    August goal weight: 155

    Aug 1st - 159.6 :) - Used the rowing machine at the gym for the first time. My friend and I liked it. Why aren't more people using it. No one is ever on it.
    Aug 2nd - 160 :neutral: - Probably the few bites of cookies I had after dinner last night. My daughter wanted Crumble Cookie. How could I say no after the crazy week we have had?
    Aug 3rd - 160 :neutral:
    Aug 4th - 160.4 :( - not paying attention to what I ate yesterday and ate dinner late. Need to work harder this week on what I am putting in my mouth. Last week was a little crazy and I was trying to feed a bunch of young adults. Needed quick, cheap, and easy.
    Aug 5th - 158.8 :) - Actually lost weight over the weekend!
    Aug 6th - 157.4 :) - Not sure how that happened, but I will take it. Only did cardio at the gym yesterday afternoon. I was in a hurry. Had lots to do yesterday evening.
    Aug 7th - 157.6
    Aug 8th - 158 :(
    Aug 9th - 160.2 :( - Very tired this week. Not really sure what is going on except maybe stress. Still going to the gym, but mostly cardio this week and very little weights.
    Aug 10th - 159 :) - Scale finally moving back the other direction.
    Aug 11th - 159.2 :neutral: - I knew it would go up this morning. Yesterday was really busy and only had energy by the end of the day to order pizza. I did have a salad for lunch anticipating being exhausted at the end of the day. Today will be better.
    Aug 12th - 158 :) - Yay!
    Aug 13th - 158.6 :( - Ugh! Why? Not looking good to meet my goal. I have my doctor appointment on the 27th. I'm afraid she will try to push the drugs again.
    Aug 14th - 158.6 :(
    Aug 15th - 158.4 :neutral: - The scale needs to move down! Weights and cardio for about an hour afterwork yesterday. Only ate a salad with tomatoes and cucumber last night for dinner. I won't say what I ate for lunch. :) I think the lesson learned is eat a lighter dinner and a heavier lunch.
    Aug 16th - 157.8 :) - Makes a difference when I stay away from bread. Now for the weekend. Have party to attend for my husband's grandfather tomorrow. He will be 101 and still going strong. Drives and lives by himself. It will be pool side so I probably won't want to eat much because its Texas and it will be hot tomorrow.
    Aug 17th - 157.4 :) - Yay! I made it to the gym 5 times this week. I always take Saturday and Sunday off, so just have to watch what I eat over the weekend. I have a week and a half until my doctor appointment.

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™s


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from July 31st): 188.4
    Goal: 184.4 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    Weight in blue makes me blue because itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH

    08/16-191.4-(Trend Weight 190.7)- I must apologize for my attitude and rant yesterday. I was in such a dark place. When the doctors tell me to limit my exercise due to my newest heart issues and to limit my water for the same reason, I just feel so lost. I mean, it is messing with two very VITAL parts of my weight loss plan, exercise and water!!! So today I turned off my alarm clock and decided to have a good attitude. I just need to change my exercise to mild cardio, maybe more walking. I need to drink less water and overall liquids, yes, but I can spread them out more evenly throughout the day so there may still be some effectiveness. THEN, I sat here, and continue to sit here, waitingโ€ฆ..waiting (yet again) for my contractor to get here who was scheduled for 9:00. I stay up pretty late and am not normally an early riser (I like to sleep until about 10:00 in my retirement), but have been accommodating his schedule to get these jobs done. EXCEPT, he does this often enough to tick me off. Oh, how I could have used the sleep! And I donโ€™t need sleep issues on top of exercise and water issues! So, in keeping my promise to myself to have a more positive day, I just want to say that Iโ€™ve pre-logged my food for the first time since July 31st, I have already done a Leslie Sansone walking video on youtube this morning and I am going to enjoy my DGS who is here with me for the weekend and Iโ€™m going to avoid my daughters food offerings from her mobile grocery store. NSV, however, last night she pulled Russell Stoverโ€™s sugar free 5 pc bag of chocolates out of her Mary Poppins bag for me. Sugar Free! Wow, thatโ€™s a win! She heard me for once! Have a great weekend everyone!

    08/17- DNW -(Trend Weight DNW)- I forgot my weekly Fosamax yesterday so I took it this morning, therefore, itโ€™s a no-weigh Saturday. Yesterday was not good. I ended up skipping dinner because of too many snacks. Not healthy or right on any level. My stomach just seems to be a bottomless pit right now. Iโ€™m hoping for a better day today but already I am staving off hunger. Choices will be key today. Too bad they werenโ€™t key yesterday. I had all my food choices pre-planned and pre-logged but only followed through until lunch.

    Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty), back for another month with this supportive group. I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023, and with this group since April 2023. I have lost 84.5 pounds since the beginning of my journey. This group (along with a couple others I am in) has played a very important part in me reaching my goals. Thank you @jm216 for setting it up again this month! I and working on my last 10ish pounds to goal (may change that when I get there). Happy to be back for another month.

    My July Reflection for anyone who cares to read:
    July Reflection

    July was a tough month for me. I do not really understand why I lost motivation this month, but probably a combination of not being able to do my normal exercise routine coupled with getting close to my goal and self-sabotage.

    I lost 1.5 pounds this month. My goal was to at least lose 2% of my body weight which would have been about 3 pounds. I got close for a couple of days โ€“ but then went over the top and gained some back. The good thing is that I got back at it right away and did not allow the one-day binges to continue into a weekend, or weeklong binge. Down 84.5 pounds since I started this journey.

    Exercise was different for me this month as well. The doctor asked that complete non weight bearing exercises, so no real walking. My strength, cardio, stretch, and steps were all done in the chair most of the month. I did get the green light to start up again at the end of the month and am slowly transitioning from chair to standing.

    Now for the good news โ€“ I reached the 1,500-mile marker on my quest to walk 2,024 miles in 2024, logging about 150 miles in July (mostly seated). I found a place on my Garmin app which gives me the total intentional exercise time โ€“ so much easier for me to track my second goal which was 2,024 miles of intentional exercise (I count 20 minutes as a mile). I was previously doing it on an excel spreadsheet โ€“ which probably wasnโ€™t too accurate. With this new calculation I am at 1,181 miles to date โ€“ just where I should be to complete it for the year. I can do it.

    There are a lot of obstacles in my way for the month of August. Family picnic this weekend, followed by my birthday, then a three-day girlโ€™s trip to Turning Stone Casino, and then finally a three-day trip for my wedding anniversary. With that in mind am going to keep the same goal as July โ€“ a 2% loss. Yes, I would love to see that ideal number (3.5 pounds), but that dangling carrot hasnโ€™t helped me with my goals, so am going to shoot for that in September when it is much more reachable. It is also break time for both the Hogwarts and BLC challenges โ€“ so need to motivate myself โ€“ not as easy to do.

    I have thought a lot about what my final goal should be. My initial goal was five pounds under the ideal range or 135 pounds. But when I look at myself, I still do not see fit. So am adjusting it to 100-pound loss or January 8, 2025 (my two-year starting date) whichever comes first.

    My Goals for August:


    โ€ข 2% loss for the month (about 2.5 pounds)
    โ€ข Alternate Cardio and Strength
    โ€ข Average 11K Steps per day
    โ€ข Continue Physical Therapy Knee exercise โ€“ every other day
    โ€ข Reduce Calories Gained by Exercise to 25% of earned

    My Before and After for July

    PRIOR WEEKS
    Aug 1: 142.8 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿง‚ I'll never get it - didn't really do anything different - but a nice swish. Nothing exciting happening - end of the month is reflection and budget day so spent a good amount of time at the computer. I added a new goal this month - declutter - thinking one declutter thing a week. We'll see how that goes on my goal to become more minimalistic. My Aunt cancelled the family picnic that was planned for this weekend. My other Aunt is up from Florida and we were all going to get together - but it is supposed to rain all day so she cancelled. I'm sorry to see it because I haven't seen a couple of my cousins in a long time - but one less temptation this month is probably a good thing as August is filled with one to many for me.

    Aug 2: 142.7 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿซ€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿง‚Nice day yesterday, went out on the boat, a little dip in the water. I love our little lake (which only town resisdents can use). I counted the boats that were on the water - 2 boats, 1 jet ski, and a paddle board (plus us). My knee was feeling great yesterday, and I got in 17K steps. This was my daily goal pre knee injury so was so happy to see it. I'm feeling a little sore this morning though, so will curb it a little today.

    Aug 3: 142.4 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿง‚Hot and Humid in Connecticut yesterday. Got our walk in, but was super sticky. We harvested our first pot of potatoes (we picked the little one to see how they were doing) and got seven good potatoes from the pot. Super happy with that. After a terrible garden year, it was nice to see some profits from our work. We talked about next year's garden and all we can seem to grown this year is tomatoes and potatoes (and ok arugula). Even the fruit trees - no apples, no pears - we do have peaches but the squirrels are taking them one by one before they are ripe. No big plans for today - it's also going to be a hot and humid one.

    Aug 4: 142.5 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿซ€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿง‚One of my spare bedrooms has my treadmill in it and a weight machine. We had a twin sized bed in there as well (it was Allyson's room way back when). Finally decided to get rid of the bed. Also cleaned out the bureau - now the bureau is empty (going to move some things from my bedroom to make it so my closet isn't stuffed) and we moved the ab chair into the room. Threw away a big bag of stuff, another big bag going to good will and a couple bags of stuff for Allyson to go through. If she doesn't want it another two bags to goodwill. Now it is truely a workout room. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Aug 5: 142.9 ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง‚Rest and stretch day for me. I also didn't get all my water in - hoping the uptick is just that. Tonight is bingo with the Mom and the gang. Celebrating my birthday (and one of the other in Mom's circle of friends). So will have a light eating day today to make up for the cupcakes tonight. Prelogged my day and if I stick to it should still end up with a deficit. Cleaned out the closet in the workout room - another two bags to goodwill.

    Aug 6: 143.2 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฆต ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿง‚Totally expected, the cupcake sugar high made me ravenous and when I got home I binged - added another 650 calories of junk to the mix. Back at it today. Good thing is that I won for a change - went bingo twice, and won the $10 door prize.



    WEEK TWO

    ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿซ€ ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿก๐Ÿง‚

    Aug 7: 142.9 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿซ€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง‚Good day yesterday. Didn't get the expected amount of rain they were predicting, so got in my AM walk. We also took a drive to the shore, took a little stroll down the boardwalk at the mouth of the Connecticut River.

    Aug 8: 143.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸฆตOver my sodium goal yesterday and my calorie limit was 12 calories over - I know not by much but the sodium on top of it and the scale shows every bit of my being off plan. I haven't been sleeping well either which I think contributes to the scale. Today is my actual birthday (64), but not doing much today - will celebrate tomorrow and Saturday when Allyson will be here.

    Aug 9: 144.5 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿซ€๐ŸฆตOut last night to celebrate my birthday. I logged everything and it wasn't pretty. But I did have a nice time.

    Aug 10: 143.5 ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿก๐Ÿง‚ Back to where I started at the beginning of the month. Hopefully can make a dent downward before I leave on my trip on Thursday (three day girls outting). Rest day yesterday. Allyson stayed most of the day. She is writing a book and when she finishes a chapter she reads them to me. I got two this weekend. ๐Ÿฅฐ Then we went out on the boat for a bit, took a little plunge in the water. Had our dinner at lunchtime, then Allyson headed home. I got a new tv for my workout room - so after she left set that up.

    Aug 11: 143.5 Somehow this post got lost

    Aug 12: 143 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿซ€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿก๐Ÿง‚Harvested the potted potatoes yesterday - got about 15 pounds in the six pots. Still have a few plants that we sowed in the ground - we are leaving those for now - they don't appear to be finished quite yet. Yup, next year potatoes and tomatoes - that's all that seems to grow well. We have another woodchuck that just consumed the peppers and squash plants - Greg saw him crawl over the gate! It hasn't been a great year for the garden.

    Aug 13: 142.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿก๐Ÿง‚Went for nice walk yesterday - we were going to our usual spot but the bridge over the river was closed so had to turn around. Stopped at Machimoodus state park. We haven't been here in a really long time.

    WEEK THREE

    Aug 14: 142.4 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿซ€๐Ÿฆต ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿก Went to Allyson's yesterday AM, she was having issues with the new chromebook she bought - apparently the office 365 app not compatible - so since she bought it to work on her book during her lunchbreaks - it is being returned. I thought maybe I could figure out a way to get there on the web - but couldn't get it done. Then I got home and checked the garden, I was going to pull out the eaten squash and found a hiding squash in the one plant that wasn't demolished - HUGE - almost three pounds. They aren't as good when then get big. Oh well, tried a new skinnytaste receipe for Stuffed Zucchini. It was tasty. Tomorrow AM going on my trip with the girls - so won't be posting for the next few days. We are off to Turning Stone Casino for three days of fun and gambling. I met this milestone yesterday!

    Aug 15: ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿก Didn't think I would check in today because of my trip - but leaving later than I anticipated. Diisasterous day; I made cookies for the trip and of course had to taste them. Tasting led to a sugar binge - chip binge - a beer. Typical for me - I go off plan just a bit and it is like it is a freedom to do whatever I want. The good part of yesterday was that I tried my paddleboard. I didn't stand up on it - tried but the wobbling of it wasn't good for my knee and didn't want to re-injure it - so just did it kneeling; it was fun. My plan for the trip is to get up earlier than the others and head to the fitness room for a treadmill walk. If I still have time I might do some MFP (bringing my laptop) before my roomies rise. Hope I don't wake them. That's the plan anyway - we'll see if I can get my butt out of bed after a night out.

    Aug 16: DNW ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿซ€๐Ÿ’ฆ
    Aug 17: DNW ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿซ€๐Ÿฆต

    Aug 18: 147.3 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿซ€I'm back and it isn't pretty; and I only have three days before my next trip. I am back at it full swing for the next few days - then going away for a couple days to celebrate our anniversary and then I'll have nine days to try to get back to my August starting weight. Yikes, it's going to be a tough one. I did have a wonderful time - spent a lot of $, obviously I ate a lot of junk, too much salt, too much sugar, no fruits and veggies to talk about, but it was nice to get away with the girls. We do this once a year and every year one of us has one big. I had my year last time so wasn't expecting it. My younger sister did well this time around!

    Way above my calories and salt yesterday, and the scale reflecting it. It was the evening something-tasty-to-much-on-while-I-read monster! I had done well up to that point though. Darn flavor! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    Anyway, I actually don't feel horrible about it, I will try again to rein it in today. If the weather holds, I'll be playing disc golf๐Ÿฅ with Allen and The Old Guys this afternoon. I'm looking forward to it.

    Have an awesome day, everyone!

    @deepwoodslady I am hoping you can find another new family doctor. This one doesn't sound like a keeper to me. Unless you can find someone else to take care of the mental health side of things. And your "rant" seemed warranted to me!

    @cattherien Did you find out what was wrong with the truck, or are you sill sharing?

    Welcome back, Darlene!

    Apparently it's an electrical short in the transmission. It's an automatic verses a stick shift, and Allen seems to know how to massage the pedals and tachometer, and so he's been stubbornly driving it back and forth to work! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿคฆ

    I'm hoping he takes some dedicated time to get under there and see what's going on, or take it to a shop, because I'm not comfortable driving it or riding in it until he gets it figured out. I've given him my thoughts and boundaries on the subject and now the ball is in his court.

    Hi,
    I'm Cindy. I'm 50, 5'4" and 159.6 as of Aug 1st. Lost 4.6 lbs in July. I didn't quite reach my goal weight for July, but I was close. I have fought with the same 10lbs for the last year.
    So my doctor wants to put me on Wegovy or Zepbound. Between the cost and doing a little research, I don't think its a great solution for me. Looks like it might be a rest of life commitment. No thank you!

    Started at the gym 7/3. Been going 5 days a week. Missed a few days due to life.

    I see my doctor again at the end of August, so I want to loose at least 10 lbs by then to prove I can do it without meds. My ultimate goal is 135 lbs.

    Starting weight: 164.2 (July 1, 2024)
    August starting weight: 159.6
    August goal weight: 155

    Aug 1st - 159.6 :) - Used the rowing machine at the gym for the first time. My friend and I liked it. Why aren't more people using it. No one is ever on it.
    Aug 2nd - 160 :neutral: - Probably the few bites of cookies I had after dinner last night. My daughter wanted Crumble Cookie. How could I say no after the crazy week we have had?
    Aug 3rd - 160 :neutral:
    Aug 4th - 160.4 :( - not paying attention to what I ate yesterday and ate dinner late. Need to work harder this week on what I am putting in my mouth. Last week was a little crazy and I was trying to feed a bunch of young adults. Needed quick, cheap, and easy.
    Aug 5th - 158.8 :) - Actually lost weight over the weekend!
    Aug 6th - 157.4 :) - Not sure how that happened, but I will take it. Only did cardio at the gym yesterday afternoon. I was in a hurry. Had lots to do yesterday evening.
    Aug 7th - 157.6
    Aug 8th - 158 :(
    Aug 9th - 160.2 :( - Very tired this week. Not really sure what is going on except maybe stress. Still going to the gym, but mostly cardio this week and very little weights.
    Aug 10th - 159 :) - Scale finally moving back the other direction.
    Aug 11th - 159.2 :neutral: - I knew it would go up this morning. Yesterday was really busy and only had energy by the end of the day to order pizza. I did have a salad for lunch anticipating being exhausted at the end of the day. Today will be better.
    Aug 12th - 158 :) - Yay!
    Aug 13th - 158.6 :( - Ugh! Why? Not looking good to meet my goal. I have my doctor appointment on the 27th. I'm afraid she will try to push the drugs again.
    Aug 14th - 158.6 :(
    Aug 15th - 158.4 :neutral: - The scale needs to move down! Weights and cardio for about an hour afterwork yesterday. Only ate a salad with tomatoes and cucumber last night for dinner. I won't say what I ate for lunch. :) I think the lesson learned is eat a lighter dinner and a heavier lunch.
    Aug 16th - 157.8 :) - Makes a difference when I stay away from bread. Now for the weekend. Have party to attend for my husband's grandfather tomorrow. He will be 101 and still going strong. Drives and lives by himself. It will be pool side so I probably won't want to eat much because its Texas and it will be hot tomorrow.
    Aug 17th - 157.4 :) - Yay! I made it to the gym 5 times this week. I always take Saturday and Sunday off, so just have to watch what I eat over the weekend. I have a week and a half until my doctor appointment.
    Aug 18th - 156.6 :) - Can't believe it. Getting super close to my goal. I might just make it by the day of my doctor appointment.

    I'm 54 and have been married 28 years. I have 2 children-- a son who is 23 and a daughter who is 19. I work full-time selling new construction homes, and I absolutely love it!
